MySQL query to select everything to left of last space in a column with name records
For this, you can use LEFT(). Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable1939 ( FullName varchar(20) ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable1939 values('Adam Smith');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1939 values('Robert Downey, Jr.');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1939 values('Sylvester Stallone');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1939 values('Chris Hemsworth');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select * from DemoTable1939;
This will produce the following output −
+--------------------+ | FullName | +--------------------+ | Adam Smith | | Robert Downey, Jr. | | Sylvester Stallone | | Chris Hemsworth | +--------------------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Here is the query to select everything to left of last space
mysql> select
LEFT(FullName, LENGTH(FullName) - LOCATE(' ', REVERSE(FullName))+1)
from DemoTable1939;This will produce the following output −
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
| LEFT(FullName, LENGTH(FullName) - LOCATE(' ', REVERSE(FullName))+1) |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Adam |
| Robert Downey, |
| Sylvester |
| Chris |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
